Oil Paintings in Public Ownership

In National Museums Liverpool

This volume contains more than 3,000 oil paintings from National Museums Liverpool. These include the Lady Lever Art Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery which both boast outstanding collections of paintings including Old Masters, Victorian art, notably Pre-Raphaelite works, and post-war British painting.

Important holdings of paintings can also be found at Sudley House and the Museum of Liverpool. Merseyside Maritime Museum's collection of marine artworks serves to remind us that the sea and shipping are key to Liverpool's identity, whilst the smaller collection at the UK Border Force National Museum gives a fascinating glimpse of British social and political history.
